Product Overview
This rabbit polyclonal antibody targets homeobox protein CDX-2 (gene CDX2) in human samples and is validated for Western blot. The predicted molecular weight is 33.5 kDa, and the supplier reports an observed band at about 45 kDa.
CDX-2 is a caudal-type homeobox transcription factor that controls intestinal epithelial identity and differentiation, activating genes such as sucrase-isomaltase. It is also needed for trophectoderm formation in the early embryo, and it is widely used as a marker of intestinal differentiation in pathology research.

Validated Applications
| Western blot | 0.25–0.5 µg/mL (Human) |
|---|
Samples with a confirmed band (WB): human SW620 cells, human Caco-2 cells, human DLD1 cells.
Recommended loading (WB): 20–40 µg of total protein per lane.
Conditions in the example images (WB): 5–20% gradient SDS-PAGE under reducing conditions, 30 µg lysate per lane, transfer to nitrocellulose membrane, blocking in 5% non-fat milk, primary antibody at 0.5 µg/mL overnight at 4 °C, HRP-conjugated secondary antibody at 1:5000, ECL detection.
Immunogen
Synthetic peptide from the N-terminal region of human CDX2.
Reactivity Notes
The supplier lists reactivity with human. UniProt places homeobox protein CDX-2 in the nucleus. Tissue expression noted by UniProt (human): Detected in small intestine, colon and pancreas. The samples tested by the supplier (listed above) are a practical starting point for positive controls.
